Gov. Doyle: Annouces Brownfield Grant for Town of Windsor
July 26, 2006

MADISON - Governor Jim Doyle today announced a $100,000 grant from the 
Department of Commerce (Commerce) Blight Elimination and Brownfield 
Redevelopment (BEBR) program to the Town of Windsor to assist Sanderson 
Properties Partnership in the redevelopment of six blighted downtown 
area buildings.

"By returning these properties to productivity and investing in 
infrastructure - we will strengthen this community and bring new life to 
the downtown," Governor Doyle said. "I am pleased to help the Town of 
Windsor make this investment in the future of their community."

Rehabilitation of the property will include demolition of three existing 
buildings, remediation of contaminated soil, building remodeling and 
construction of two new multi-unit buildings. Other site work will 
include landscaping, lighting, utility upgrades, and extensive interior 
and exterior improvements. The redevelopment will result in a total of 
12 businesses housed in five buildings. Total projected costs are 
$1,163,535. The project will create six new jobs.

The Sanderson Property Partnership is a jointly owned entity that 
concentrates on purchasing distressed properties for renovation and 
management. Recent projects have included a three-unit home on campus 
renovated for student housing and the renovation of a single-family home 
in Madison.

Commerce's BEBR Program provides grant funds to municipalities, local 
development corporations, and the private sector to support assessment, 
remediation and return of contaminated lands to productive use. 
Brownfields are abandoned, idle, or underused industrial or commercial 
properties where redevelopment is hindered by real or perceived 
contamination.  For more information about the Brownfields Program, 
contact Jason Scott, Commerce, at 608/261-7714.
